I’m a crafty working broad on the move which, unfortunately, results in a purse that looks like this. I reach in for a pen and pull out a DPN instead. I try to pay for a coffee and get tangled up in excess yarn. I pull out my datebook and forty crumpled print-outs of project instructions flutter out along with it.

So when I asked Jen, of the sewing team Piddleloop, to whip up a project bag for the birthday of one of my besties, I also ended up getting one for myself. I can’t wait for them to show up in the mail. The first is for my friend and the second is for myself.

Amy over at PURPLEPINKANDORANGE is giving me the motivation I need to organize my disaster area of a craft space with her space organization challenge. Check out that mess! It’s ridiculous.

To Do List:

• Go through multiple giant bags of bedding and clothing. Throw out the nasty. Donate the nice.
• Sort through old photography stuff. Throw it out if I can’t figure out anything to do with it.
• List manual camera on eBay.
• File magazines.
• Make labels for magazine boxes and craft boxes.
• Fold and put away fabric.
• Buy iron/ironing board organizer to hang on side of shelf.
• Bring extra boxes to basement.
• Mount bike hanger in hall, so I can move it out of the office (not shown).
• Bring all paperwork/documents into bedroom to sort and file.
• Bring old guitar to Bill’s house.
• Transfer paper craft items from artbins to clear craft boxes. Sell artbins.
• Post acrylic paints and painting supplies on craigslist to sell.
• Organize notions drawers.
• Find a better storage option for hides.
